Cold Deck For Piceci

Poker can be a cruel game at times, as Claudio Piceci has just found out.

Dominic Nitsche was busy stacking a large pile of chips when he limped from early position, one player followed suit, as did Piceci on the button, but the small blind made it 8,300 to play. Two limpers quickly folded but Piceci decided to call.

Flop: {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The small blind checked then insta-called when Piceci bet 25,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in.

Piceci: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} - for two-pair
Small blind: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} - for top two pair

The turn saw the {j-Clubs} make an appearance and when the {6-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, the small blind had doubled up.
